Quintessential Highlands Attraction with Amazing Views - I don't know why you would not go here if visiting the Highlands of Scotland. The views are amazing. There is a nice little cafe where you can sit outside and take it all in and have a bite.

Great experience - I would recommend without hesitation. We had a private tour for a day around Inverness (Loch Ness, Urquhart, Culloden, Beauly). Bill was great, very knowledgeable, eager to share about the region’s history and today’s reality. We learned a lot about the Scots! He took the time to show us some of his favorite pubs and around town. Thank you for a great day!

Journey of Discovery - My husband's ancestors were from Scotland. We contacted the guide before the tour and were able to tweak the tour to stop by several places where we walked in the footsteps of my husband's clan. Guide was personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Grant Tours.

Highland Delight - Only a true Scot can describe what you see and, more importantly, what you don’t see. Bill’s passion and expertise made us appreciate and fall in love with the Highlands. He is personable and very accommodating. Can’t wait for our next trip here!

Great Personalized and Private Shore Excursion - We had an amazing experience with Bill on our full-day tour of the Inverness area. We went to the Inverness area of Scotland via cruise ship. He picked us up right on time and made sure we got back to our ship with plenty of time. He personalized our tour based on needs and preferences. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history. He took us to places that you would never see on a coach tour. One of the highlights was seeing a herd of highland cows up in the hills including a few babies. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone
